Apple hardware was nice. Not anymore. I had to have the keyboard replaced on my touchbar model. And the 8 Gig memory limit is silly. Thanks to an external keyboard and vagrant I get to spend most of my time on linux with a good keyboard, so it is tolerable for now.

I would dump it for a linux laptop, but I work remote so every type of video chat/screen share tool needs to work. Most of them don't work on linux. My computer choice is dictated by chat tools, which is kind of sad.

Hangouts, Slack, Zoom.us, Appear.in (even Skype iirc) work fine with Debian.

I had a company like that. I just ran Windows in a VM and connected it to the company domain controller. While at work, I used x11vnc on one display, tightvnc on the Windows VM on another monitor and would use that with WebEx if I needed to share my screen.

At home, I ran the same setup but I used my gaming/windows laptop for my VNC client and WebEx. I could never get the Linux Cisco VPN client to work, so my work laptop just made an openvpn connection to my flat (fibre connections are nice).

I use Linux as a daily driver, and currently have zero issues using Hangouts and Hipchat's built in videochat, and only minor issues with Skype, for a data point...

You mean 16, not 8.

That is indeed unfortunate but the windows version runs decently on Wine. It's a pain to figure out the exact versions of Evernote and Wine that will work + the fixes (currently I'm on Evernote 6.4 and Wine 2.1 using PlayOnLinux). In the end some annoying bugs linger, but for the most part I still prefer it to Evernote for Mac.
